# behav: even the first asynchronous decisions might tend to be correct and exhibit information cascades.


<< It is usually assumed that information cascades are most likely to occur when an early but incorrect opinion spreads through the group. Here (AA) analyse models of confidence-sharing in groups and reveal the opposite result: simple but plausible models of naïve Bayesian decision-making exhibit information cascades when group decisions are synchronous; however, when group decisions are asynchronous, the early decisions reached by Bayesian decision makers tend to be correct, and dominate the group consensus dynamics. Thus early decisions actually rescue the group from making errors, rather than contribute to it. (AA) explore the likely realism of our assumed decision-making rule with reference to the evolution of mechanisms for aggregating social information, and known psychological and neuroscientific mechanisms. >>️

# behav: predicting long-term collective behavior with deep learning (among fish species Hemigrammus rhodostomus)


<< Deciphering the social interactions that govern collective behavior in animal societies has greatly benefited from advancements in modern computing. Computational models diverge into two kinds of approaches: analytical models and machine learning models. This work introduces a deep learning model for social interactions in the fish species Hemigrammus rhodostomus, and compares its results to experiments and to the results of a state-of-the-art analytical model. To that end, (AA) propose a systematic methodology to assess the faithfulness of a model, based on the introduction of a set of stringent observables. (They) demonstrate that machine learning models of social interactions can directly compete against their analytical counterparts. Moreover, this work demonstrates the need for consistent validation across different timescales and highlights which design aspects critically enables (AA) deep learning approach to capture both short- and long-term dynamics. (AA) also show that this approach is scalable to other fish species. >>️

# gst: porous substrates and foams on the structure of turbulent boundary layers over them.


<< Turbulent flow over and past porous surfaces is encountered in many engineering problems, ranging from flow over forest canopies (..) to flows over and past river beds (..). This makes the understanding or the flow behaviour over porous surfaces crucial. >>
<< The present study shows that transition from thick to thin substrate flow behavior depends not only on thickness-to-pore ratio (..) but also on substrate density relative to viscous scales of the flow. >>️

# gst: when science meets poetry, an image of three-dimensional stepped cracks (bistability, and their transition to simple cracks)


<< Slow cracks may be simple, with no internal structure. The leading edge of a simple crack, the crack front, forms a single fracture plane in its wake. Slow cracks may also develop segmented crack fronts, each segment propagating along a separate fracture plane. These planes merge at locations that form steps along fracture surfaces. Steps are not stationary, but instead propagate within a crack front. Real-time measurements of crack front structure and energy flux reveal that step dynamics significantly increase energy dissipation and drastically alter crack dynamics. Simple and stepped cracks are each stable. By extending the use of energy balance to include 3D crack front structure, (AA) find that, while energy balance is obeyed, it is insufficient to select the energetically favorable crack growth mode. Transitions from stepped cracks to simple cracks occur only when their in-plane front lengths become equal and a perturbation momentarily changes step topology. Such 3D crack dynamics challenge our traditional understanding of fracture. >>

# gst: flocking transitions of unfriendly species.

AA consider << two kinds of self-propelled particles, A and B, that tend to align with particles from the same species and to antialign with the other. The model shows a flocking transition (..) it has a liquid-gas phase transition and displays micro-phase-separation in the coexistence region where multiple dense liquid bands propagate in a gaseous background. >>


<< The interesting features (..) are the existence of two kinds of bands, one composed of mainly A particles and one mainly of B particles, the appearance of two dynamical states in the coexistence region: the PF (parallel flocking) state in which all bands of the two species propagate in the same direction, and the APF (antiparallel flocking) state in which the bands of species A and species B move in opposite directions. When PF and APF states exist in the low-density part of the coexistence region they perform stochastic transitions from one to the other. The system size dependence of the transition frequency and dwell times show a pronounced crossover that is determined by the ratio of the band width and the longitudinal system size. >>

AA << work paves the way for studying multispecies flocking models with heterogeneous alignment interactions. >>

# life: a proposito di bizzarri scenari, qui una transizione 'a gradino' di ipotetico scenario22


Congo Square, New Orleans (img from web).  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congo_Square

Una senz'altro immaginifica transizione di un sistema anch'esso senz'altro immaginifico "3vs3 palle

qui potrebbe verificarsi una improvvisa mutazione "3vs3" verso un sistema auto- riconfigurato in "4vs2" palle.

(-) In prima approx il sistema destrogiro "4palle", sebbene caotico,  quasisticastico, potrebbe dimostrare chance di creativa stabilizzazione, anche a medio-lungo termine, anche grazie a non del tutto improbabili episodi di drammatiche funzionali fagocitosi (e.g. nelle forme predatorie del cannibalismo/ auto- cannibalismo, anche orgiastico estremo) al proprio interno.

(-) Il sistema levogiro "2palle" potrebbe invece lui medesimo risultare vincente sull'altro destrogiro nel caso riuscisse nell'im.probabile stabilizzazione,  ristrutturazione funzionale - dimostrando pubblicamente non banali capacità di risoluzione/ reimpostazione di problemi - perciò animandosi in modalità attrattive, coagulative su una parte significativa del 50% di quelle moltitudini verosimilmente costituite da entità fluttuanti nella solitaria condizione di pulviscoli erratici in emarginata sublimazione.

L'immagini, senz'altro campate in aria purtuttavia intriganti:  'episodi di drammatiche funzionali fagocitosi', 'cannibalismo, auto-cannibalismo anche orgiastico estremo' e 'solitaria condizione di pulviscoli erratici in emarginata sublimazione' meriterebbero una serie di poetiche, quasistocastiche perfino

ma mi astengo.
